There is difference b/w subneting and superneting and thus routing and broadcasting. Make sure you add routing of host 192.168.10.10 in your Linux 192.168.4.175/24. I'm not sure but simplest command could be like route add -host 192.168.10.10 gw 192.168.4.174 Hope this helps, -- Sumit - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
